How was your experience at the surgery?

Appointments

The Doctor's Surgery timetable is given below, but please note that there may be occasional alterations. You may make an appointment to see any of the Doctors but it is better to try to see the same Doctor for ongoing problems each time regardless of who you are registered with. Note that all surgery appointments are for ten minutes only, so if you anticipate your appointment will take longer please request a twenty minute slot.

Appointments can be made by telephoning or by attending the surgery. Medically urgent cases will always be seen on the same day but not always by your own Doctor.

The Doctors are happy to discuss problems by telephone, where appropriate, please contact the reception for advice. Please be available on your preferred number.

Home Visits

If you think you may need a home visit please phone before 11am if possible as this enables the doctors to plan their visits prior to afternoon surgery and avoid unnecessary delays. The doctor may ring to assess your problem.

Please try to attend the surgery wherever possible as a more thorough examination is possible with specialised equipment available for some cases. Visits are for the housebound and those too unwell to attend the surgery.

Please be prepared to explain what is wrong and to provide directions to your home. Remember that there is now a transport service run by SCOF, who will provide a car to take patients to and from the surgery (paid for through voluntary donations) for those who would otherwise be unable to attend (phone 581181, or ask at Reception for details).

GP Training

Medical students and Nursing students attend the practice from time to time. We hope that you will co-operate with us and help the students to learn about general practice. However, you will be informed of their presence in advance, and if you do not want them to be present at a consultation, your wishes will be respected. This will not affect your treatment in any way.

A new scheme is available to help people with minor ailments and conditions.

Patients with certain conditions will be able to go straight to their pharmacist to receive a consultation and treatment without needing to see a GP.
